Utah Luxury Real Estate Broker Says Mitt Romney Should Have Chosen St George For Mansion

St. George, Utah real estate broker David Ellis says Mitt Romney should have chosen St. George over Park City for the newest Romney family mansion.

ST. GEORGE, UTAH, USA, October 9, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After news broke that former presidential candidate Mitt Romney purchased a mansion in Park City, Utah, St. George luxury real estate broker David Ellis says Romney should have chosen St. George.

Ellis says the high end of the St. George real estate market has a lot to offer buyers, from secluded estates with grand views to luxury golf course homes.

"St. George is such a great little town with some impressive luxury estates," he says. "And the best part is the price."

He says there is a perception that luxury home buyers just want to engage in conspicuous consumption, but he's found that not to be the case most of the time.

"Most luxury home buyers want a good deal like everyone else. They didn't get to be wealthy by over-spending on lifestyle purchases," Ellis says. "They got to be wealthy by making smart choices."

That's why Ellis believes Romney could have done better by purchasing one of St. George, Utah's luxury properties. He says Romney would have had to give up the ski-in/ski-out access he has to the Deer Valley Ski Resort, but he could play golf year-round in St. George.

While admittedly speaking a little tongue in cheek, Ellis is dead serious about the better deals available on St. George homes.

"Romney spent somewhere around $8.9 million on his new Park City estate, and he has every right to do so. I just could have saved him about $7 million here in St. George," he says.

Ellis notes that there's another benefit of living in St. George that Romney might want to take into account.

"St. George is much farther away from the nearest IRS office than is Park City," he says with a smile. "I'm just saying."
